Christian

Everything is black, I'm floating in a void of nothingness. A chill runs down my spine, but at the same time I feel a sense of security. Like I've been here before, like this is home. Is this death? There's a spotlight in the distance, a figure in the middle. Who is this person? Why are they here? I try to walk towards them but chains have formed around my wrists, keeping me far enough where I can't see them clearly, but close enough so they can hear me. I try to scream, but I can't my voice doesn't change volume, but...…. They heard me, this fills me with hope, hope that I won't feel so alone in this void. They slowly turn towards me, and well I froze, I can't make out any of their face. Except their blank expressionless eyes, as lifeless as those of a doll, but inviting almost soulless. They step towards me out of the spotlight, I start to make out their face when.... "Christian Lewis, solve the problem on the board?" I snap to my senses, I slowly comprehend the teachers question and walk up to the board. I know the answer, but when did we start on this topic. I have a banging headache and that dream I had is not helping, those piercing eyes, lifeless void, and random spotlight. "Good, Mr. Lewis. But you still need to pay attention, Christian." Mr. Hayes is chill so I didn't mind this scolding "Okay, sorry. May I be excused to the infirmary?"I need to clear my head, and take something. "You may" He said, thank you Mr. Hayes. I head back to my seat, after grabbing my stuff I head out the door.

Eric

"Christian is his name" I whispered to myself. "I like it, it's fun," I whisper. "You're never going to use it are you?" Alexa asked, somehow her nosy ass heard me. "Nope." I paused smiling at her. "Look at him. I have so many things I wanna call him, and Christian….. Ain't it." I winked towards my group of friends. "Ew, that's disgusting Eric. You're fluent in multiple languages yet you still decide to curse my ears with that fowl language." Alex said discussed. "Je parle peut-être plusieurs langues, mais il parle couramment sexy, mmh. Je déteste le voir partir, mais j'adore le voir partir." I watched as Christian left the classroom. "Ugh, ewww. Curse my everlasting knowledge. Why am I fluent in 25 different languages?" Alex whined. "Eh, you asked." I smirked at him. "And it's not my fault 'SOMEONE' decided that all of us should take French instead of Spanish. So until we graduate blame your twin." I said glaring daggers into Alexa. "Don't blame me, Alex refused to teach me French so I had to learn somewhere. Also….. For the ones who don't speak Spanish, what did he say." She was now extra curious, and I knew if I didn't shut her up soon than there would be hell to pay. "I may be fluent in Spanish, but he is fluent in sexy, mmh. I hate to see him go but I love to watch him leave. That's what I said, and I meant it." I said, I'm trying my hardest to shut her up. "WHAT?!" Alexa yelled, and I knew. I fucked up. "If you don't shut her up, I'll shut all of you up. Aaron has a headache and we need him up in a few hours. If I have to fill in for him again, we are all in trouble." AJ yelled, he grabbed everyone's attention. He was threatening me more than Alexa. "Sorry, sorry. I'll be quieter prez." She was scared, I mean we all were. "But, bro don't blame him. We all have our own secret pleasure." She winked at Alex, but she was whispering this time. He spit out his drink, "I…. I….you suck Alexa." He stuttered. She whispered something in his ear, I didn't hear it but whatever it was drove him crazy. At that moment the bell rang, and I've never seen this genius run so fast out that door. This man really is the quarterback. "I'll go get him," Alexa said then she left. "Is Double A going to be okay? I can fill in for him Prez." I asked sincerely. "Hell no. You remember the last time you took the lead, I almost lost my position, Alex almost had to quit the football team, and Alexa almost had to quit the volleyball team. So, if he's not okay by next period, Alex is taking the lead. We have French and P.E, we need to keep up the facade that Alex and Alexa aren't the only ones good at sports." He was stern, but I got his point. "You take Aaron home, I'll pick up your work for you and Aaron." I winked and reassured him. "Thanks you giant flirt." He actually showed sincerity, shocked. But, then he ruffled my hair, I hate when he treats me like a little kid. He would have a girlfriend/boyfriend if he didn't act so… grown up, but well he has to. He's the oldest, he has to take care of the rest of us. We all left, taking different paths to the same peace of mind.
